The DB25 Collection: Bridging Classic Inspiration with Futuristic Vision
De Bethune DB25: Celestial Craft and Horological Mastery
The De Bethune DB25 collection is a poetic expression of the brand's horological philosophy—uniting 21st-century engineering with celestial inspiration. Characterized by domed dials, polished titanium cases, and moonphase or tourbillon complications, DB25 watches offer a balance of heritage watchmaking and forward-thinking design. Each model is meticulously hand-finished at the De Bethune manufacture in L'Auberson, Switzerland, making them a true rarity in the independent watchmaking space.
